Careful, your talking points are showing.

He is the commander in chief, so technically he was the one who pulled the trigger.


What I do find amusing is that while GWB used the threat of 'terrists' to severely retard the growth of America while grossly enlarging his and his cronies personal fortunes, the new administration finds the guy and takes him out. Maybe now we can get on with shit instead of chasing boogie men in caves.

It didn't take ten years to find him and kill him, it took two years, but yeah whatever...

All I can say is that fucking rat bastard is finely dead. We should make May 1 a national holiday to remind everyone if you fuck with us you will die even if it takes 10 years.

FUCK YEAH OSAMA IS DEAD!!!!

I always say this, and my friend who was in the army stationed in Afghanistan immediately after 9-11 says it too, Bush should have put troops into Afghanistan to catch this prick after 9-11, NOT Iraq.

Wasn't the right time to fight Daddy's war and deprive us of troops where we really needed them.

What sort of Republican is Bush? A shitty one. Any other president would have focused all of our military force on that prick after 9-11. Bush did not. FAIL.

uh, refresh my memory, did we not go straight to Afghanistan after 9/11? I seem to recall some sort of war there.

Our troops where on the ground the next day...Just not officially I believe mainly ops teams I know a few of my friends leave time were cut short.

True. But it's a fair point to point out that enormous resources were diverted away from there to Iraq, something more than a few servicemen complained about as memory serves. Anyway, he was nicked in Pakistan, which has presented a whole series of other challenges. In any event, that was a pretty expensive man hunt.

Indeed. And as pointed out elsewhere, im not sure it really changes anything. It sure feels good though.

It changes nothing, of that I'm pretty confident. And that sorta begs some serious questions considering it cost, depending on how you want to look at it, up to trillions of dollars and thousands of American lives killed, thousands more injured for life, and who knows how many bystanders caught in the middle. Maybe there are better, less emotionally driven ways of handling security and justice. Don't get me wrong, I'm not losing any sleep over a first class turd biting the dust, but I don't really feel any sense of satisfaction or relief either. It's just something that's over and we have all the same problems today we did a couple days ago really. Ah I don't mean to be a downer if this makes people all giddy, just I ain't there.

We did. But as it is well known, and as my friend who was in the army actually said, they didn't have enough troops. Because they were all in Iraq.
